Preventing Boiler Explosions.

A mode of preventing boiler explosions has
been patented by B. Meyer, Gleiwitz, Ger
many. 1t consists in boiling a metallic plate
over an opening in the shell, with strip of
packing between to make a steam tight joint
This plate is of such strength that it will be
torn out, it is claimed, before the elastic limit
of the shell is reached.

The custom Of papering ceilings has gone
out of fashion in some sections of the
country and in its place has come unob-
trusive but artistic stencil ornamental
ton. The deep frieze will always be popular,
although it has in part been displaced by a
narrow border The selection of either is a
matter of taste. 1t is well, whatever may be
the scheme of decoration, to have the ceiling
relieved from the intense white.

a CALIFORNIA ASTRONOMER r.
His Prediction OF what the Lick Tel
escOpe VIII Do.

Mr.. Frank Reed, of San Francisco,
had published circular styled The
Lick Telescope and the Moon" from
which the following extracts are made:
Before 1.-THE great telescope is turned
upon the moon and the other planets,
as they are called, it'is well to lot the
world know beforehand what will be
discovered.
All the celestial bodies outside the
earth are only balls of electricity in its
most condensed form. All the stars are
of about the density of water, and n
mans body would sink in them the
same as if they were water.
And now comes the greatest discov
cry. The so-called mountains, volcan-
oes, lakes, etc. of the moon are only
photographs or reflections of our earth.
l made the discovery that the spots
upon the moon always appeared with
out changing their position. The part
that is up in the east will appear
down in the west When the moon
appears to hang on her corner or lay
on her back the spots remain as be
fore.
Now for an explanation of what
causes the changes of the m Don fulling
and waning:
A thick bank of dark gases gathers
in the earth atmosphere, and hides the
moon from view. As these gases ac-
cumulate the atmosphere OF the earth
is expanded, and this forces the moon
away from us about twenty thousand
miles, at which point it becomes mega
tive, and is attracted towartkthe earth.
AT the time of new moon the gases
completely envelope the earth. and the
moon and sun are exactly on line.
Twenty-four hours later the moon has
fallen back about $50 miles. and in
doing so she has, through her magnetic
power in connection with the sun,
forced cap through these gases and
now shows us u little of her surface.
The old theory, that the sun shining
upon the moon caused the changes,
would be one Of the most m raculous
affairs in all nature. for we know that
the sun will shine as much upon The
surface of q globe at one time us an
other. and globe can not be turned SO
that more light will shine upon it at one
time or in one position than in an
other.
When my theory is accepted, as it
will be in a short time, for no other cx-
PLANTATION can be given, | will explain
to the world what becomes of the gases
that cause the fulling and waning of
the moon, and will also explain what
causes the ocean tides.

A New Railroad scheme.

The latest railroad project in which Vir-
ginia is interested is the proposed Atlanta.
Ashvile & Baltimore Railroad, which is
to run by Salem and over the route of the
Valley Railroad to Baltimore. Concern
ling this proposed road, the Salem Times
Register is Informed that Mr.. L. Harrison
Garrett, brother of Robert Garrett, and
other Baltimore capitalists are interested.
| It is stated that work will be commenced
on this new road within two or four
months.
| This project, should the statement.above
mean any thing, would be simply carrying
out the original purpose of the Valley
Railroad. The OBJECT was to accomm2
date the great Valley Of Virginia, and
form through line to the south already
outlined. 1t would be an important trlb
| utary to the trade of Baltimore and consti
/ tute one of the most useful lines in
the country. We hope that the PROPOSE
tion will receive tangible form and mate
ialize in completed road. 1t would be
an important one to Virginia.

objected to that as unnecessary, as he had
two years previously married his daughter
at BRISTOL And SO it turned out. The
"cruel parents " objected 10 the oDdSre
d'amou, in its earliest stages. the lovers
lied themselves to Tennessee, were mar

religiously kept their secret. The aston

Young benedict to his home, delivered ul
the fair lady, and the happy couple on
Tuesday evening returned via flheastlt
